Yes, I'm going to miss the bread, too. Then again, that's probably the biggest thing that's hurt me. Bread is just too easy to eat too much of... that's why low carb eating is so much better for me. I can probably eat - I dunno, ten, or more, pieces of bread in a day, and not really feel it. And I was always baking new bread when the old loaf ran out!

But if I'm not really hungry, and pick up a handful of nuts, I realize after the first one or two that, wow, I really don't want to eat anything.

What's going to be tricky is what I'm going to do after I've been doing this for six months or so... when I fell off the low-carb wagon last time, I ended up slowly forgetting all about why I needed to be careful. And I can't let that happen again. I don't want to never eat bread, or ice cream, or whatever. But I also don't want to forget that I'll always have to be careful.
